Here are ....

the latest creations I have made. Things are getting tight now with xmas only 2 wks away and Ive still got loads to make!!

This first card I made this week for my Nan who celebrated her 96th birthday. The image is from Image-nation and I coloured it with Promarkers to match my backing card. I added 2 ribbons which were also coloured the same and finished off with a computer generated greeting and 2 gems.







 
 

This second card is one of several I have made the same. I mounted white card which I embossed on the Cuttlebug, used stickles around the edge, cut out a scalloped circle and a plain circle from Nestabilities and I embossed the plain circle. I then added an image which I coloured again with Promarkers but I also added a bit of sparkle on the hat. I finished off with a greeting printed from the computer.

These are some of my finished cards. I still have quite a few to do tho so may be in the quiet corner for a few days!!!

Thanks for taking the time to have a look and please leave any comments.

Us crafters waste nothing!!!!

First of all I would like to thank my crafty friend Eileen. At a recent crop she was doing her usual brayering and stamping and decided that this pic was not good enough to use for what she wanted (she didnt like the spider!). The pic was going to be heading for the bin but I was cheeky and asked if I could have it to use. The credit goes entirely to Eileen for a wonderful pic, I just layered it onto some orange and black card and finished with a ribbon. I will be giving this to my neighbour as a birthday card as its her birthday the day before Halloween.

Please take a look at Eileen's blog http://eileenscraftyzone.blogspot.com as she does some lovely pieces of work.

This next card is one of 2 I managed to make at our crop today (inbetween chatting and laughing!!!). The image is a digi stamp from Kenny K. I coloured it with Promarkers and then cut out. I then mounted it on 2 oval nestabities. I added some gorgeous flowers which I bought from Wild Orchid Crafts (http://www.wildorchidcrafts.com), ribbon coloured with Promarkers and gems from my stash. I added some Stickles around the edge of the oblong blue layer and some dots on the scalloped parts of the ovals.

Thank you for coming and looking today. Please leave any comments you wish to make.

80th Birthday

These 2 cards are for a lady on her 80th birthday. I wanted to do 2 different designs so this is what I came up with. This first image is from http://www.imag-e-nation.com/categories/Digital-Stamp-Downloads/Just-Inklined-Digital-Stamps and is coloured with Promarkers. I have matted it with pink and silver card and then mounted onto patterned background paper from HOTP. I edged this paper with silver Stickles for a bit of sparkle and finished off with greetings printed from the computer and ribbon which I coloured with Promarkers.

The second card I also used a digi image but cant remember where I got it from!! I cut it out and layered on Nestabilities Oval and then onto Oval Scalloped and mounted it onto paper from HOTP. I finished off again with card candy, Prima flowers, leaves which I made using the Cuttlebug and ribbon which again was coloured with Promarkers.

Thank you for looking again, happy crafting.
